Manchester United are considering a move for AFC Bournemouth defender and France international Adrien Truffert (24), as per a report from The I Paper.
Truffert’s form for Bournemouth recently earned him a recall to the France national team. He made his debut for Les Bleus back in 2022 but had to wait until last month to add to his one cap at international level. His performances have also caught the eye of Manchester United. The Red Devils have had a poor start to the season.
The club’s transfer window has been under the microscope and Jason Wilcox has notably been criticised by Lisandro Martinez. One of the oversights, it is now admitted internally, is the failure to recruit at left-back. That is an error that Manchester United may look to correct in January.
The I Paper reports that, whilst Newcastle United’s Lewis Hall is a priority target in this position, Truffert is also considered an option. The Frenchman is a long-term target for Manchester United, although, should they make their move, they may face competition for his signature. The former Stade Rennais full-back’s contract with Bournemouth runs until 2030.
